sortable. In addition, you can use the Filter button to limit the scope of messages within the table.

Viewing Logs from Device Manager

You can view system messages from Device Manager if Device Manager is running from the same
workstation as the Fabric Manager Server. Choose Logs > Events > current to view the system
messages on Device Manager. The columns in the events table are sortable. In addition, you can use the
Find button to locate text within the table.
You can view switch-resident logs even if you have not set up your local syslog server or your local PC
is not in the switch's syslog server list. Due to memory constraints, these logs will wrap when they reach
a certain size. The switch syslog has two logs: an NVRAM log that holds a limited number of critical
and greater messages and a nonpersistent log that contains notice or greater severity messages. Hardware
messages are part of these logs.
To view syslog local logs, you need to configure the IP address of the Fabric Manager Server in the
Note
syslog host.
Health and Event Monitoring
Fabric Manager works with the Cisco MDS 9000 Family switches to show the health and status of the
fabric and switches. Information about the fabric and its components is gathered from multiple sources,
including Online System Health Management, Call Home, system messages, and SNMP notifications.
This information is then made available from multiple menus on Fabric Manager or Device Manager.
